TIVERTON — Mild days and cool nights — what is not to love about a summer like that?

Unless you are operating an entrance concession at a town beach.

“We are way down on beach fees,” Town Administrator Matthew Wojcik said. “We’ll collect less than we did last year.”

The town operates two beaches — Fogland on Fogland Road in the south end of town and Grinnell’s Beach on Main Road, next to the Stone Bridge pier.

The town doubled its beach fees on July 1. Town residents can go to Grinnell’s Beach or Fogland Beach for free. Nonresidents pay $10 per car on a week day, $20 per car on the weekend.

“Fogland is paying for itself and contributing back,” Wojcik said. “Grinnell’s will be a loss. We believe it is a combination of the impact of the increased fees and the fact that this summer was not a compelling beach summer.”

This summer has had beautiful but mild weather, with few days reaching 90 degrees.

“Plus, Grinnell’s was closed after the rainstorm because of a high bacteria count,” Wojcik said. “It was only closed for a day, but the effect of that lingers.”

The amounts are small, Wojcik said. Grinnell’s Beach was slated to bring in about $10,000 in a 10-week season. Fogland was budgeted to bring in $16,000.

“Fogland is pretty close to that target,” Wojcik said. “Grinnell’s might be off by almost half.”

The higher beach fees are not entirely to blame. Town residents have also been staying off the beach on days when temperatures struggle to reach 80 degrees.

“There just haven’t been as many people at the beaches,” Wojcik said.

There is one more week with lifeguards posted and fees collected at the beaches, but it is doubtful the town will make up the lost revenue during that time, Wojcik said.

For one thing, most of the town’s summer help is leaving.

“Most of our lifeguards are high school athletes or college students,” Wojcik said. “The high school athletes are leaving the work to go to practice and the college students are leaving to go back to school.”

When there are too few summer workers to staff the entrance booths at the beaches, beach patrons do not have to pay an entrance fee.
